...when we first moved to TV to find that most people asked for separate checks and the wait staff almost always offers them.

I came from an area where we'd never ask for separate checks and always just divide up the bill or throw in our credit cards and tell the wait staff to divide it up. Initially, it left the impression that Villagers were "cheapies". But after living here for awhile I've become very accustomed to the practice.
